1. Cathy- East of Eden. (John Steinbeck) I have one word for Cathy. Heartless....

2. Mc Murphy- One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (Ken Kesey). Easily one my favorite, and most entertaining characters.

3. Charles Wallace- A Wrinkle In Time (Madeline L'Engle) I loved the development and personality of this character. The end of the book was heartbreaking, he was so fragile, yet so strong. I still love this book.

4. Mammy- Gone With The Wind (Margaret Mitchell). Mammy was the family backbone. She should have beat Scarlett stupid.

5. Yossarian- Catch-22 (Joseph Heller). Crazy, crazy character.

6. Scout- To Kill A Mockingbird (Harper Lee). The innocence of this character touched me.

7. Tom Joad- The Grapes of Wrath (Steinbeck again). You wanted so much to hope and cheer for Tom. I think he is so well written.

8. Claire and Jamie Fraser- The Outlander series (by Diana Gabaldon.) Easily one of my favorite series of books. You can't have one without the other.

9. Elphaba- Wicked (Gregory Maguire). I love the back story of the little green girl who grew up to be the witch. Anyone know how the author chose her name? (I do)

10. Marmee- Little Women (Louisa May Alcott) the glue that held the family together.

11. Ayla- Clan of the Cave Bear series (Jean Auel). I was taken with this story as a teenager. Movie SUCKED OUT LOUD. ( I detest Daryl Hannah)

About Me

I think, at this point, this blog defies any description. I ramble on about various things, but since I now have my little boy safe and at home it's a safe bet I am going to be blogging about him a whole lot...
And to think this blog started out as a single girl's search for a good man...
hahahahaha!
